Sophisticated Super Car

Unleashed on the world at the 2018 Geneva International Motor Show, this super car bears the name of legendary racer Ayrton Senna. Its body features extensive carbon fibre sections, and is designed for impeccable aerodynamics and cooling. Power is provided by an 800PS 4-liter V8 twin turbo engine. With only 500 produced, the McLaren Senna is hot property indeed.

The glorious supercar form with complex aerodynamic themes is captured masterfully for a truly satisfying build.

There is plenty to admire in the scale depictions of the midship mount V8 engine, subframe and the suspension, too.

Clear parts for the windows and in the roof do not require cement and slot into the model, removing the need for masking.

Window and roof parts are slotted into the upper monocoque. Outer pillars, body panels and more are attached separately to the frame.

Depictions of glass door sections can also be attached without the aid of cement, saving a potentially time-consuming process.

Brake discs and calipers are entirely separate parts, helping to make the model's paint job a simpler, more streamlined affair.

Different components are included in the kit for twin or triple exhausts, in addition to US and European spec license plates.

Choose whether to assemble the model with the futuristic dashboard in either slim (left) or full display mode (right).

Even the pads on the futuristic looking seats are separate parts, helping to make the paint job that little bit easier.

This model features recreations of the aero blades which are housed inside the air intakes located under the headlights.
